Wednesday, June 24th, 2015---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----"The 'Life Span' (16th) chapter of the Lotus Sutra closes with the Buddha saying that he constantly asks himself how he can help all people attain Buddhahood:

"At all times I think to myself:How can I cause living beingsto gain entry into the unsurpassed wayand quickly acquire the body of a Buddha? (LSOC16, 273)

"Let us continue to answer this question day after day through our vibrant, dedicated efforts for kosen-rufu. And let us always strive cheerfully together as members of a harmonious gathering overflowing with the noble virtues of eternity, happiness, true self, and purity, united by ties that transcend the bounds of life and death."
